Where does the membership money go?
The membership dollars go in to the UBPC general fund. This account is used to fund various expenses that we do not want to have to charge in regular student fees.
What do the UBPC members do?
UBPC members are mostly parents that want the best band experience for their students. The band parent/UBPC member experience is different for everyone, depending on the amount of time each person has available to commit. Generally speaking, members volunteer, attend UBPC meetings, fundraise, watch practices together, help with special events, travel with the band, chaperone on trips, provide hospitality for judges and other events, make friends with other parents and cheer on the band. UBPC members are there to answer questions (especially for 1st year marching students – yikes!) and support you when your student graduates (try not to think about it – it will be here before you know it!)
Company donations or donation matching
Some companies will match or donate if you volunteer! Don’t hesitate to ask! Some of our band parents have received hundreds of dollars in donations just by asking!
We have a lot of things coming up - take the time to check in with your employer and see if they are able to provide any donations or do donation matching? Many companies have money set aside for gifting to non-profits. This would be a tremendous help and keep our pockets from continuously being empty!
We can put together a donation sheet - an idea is to include shout outs in our Weekly Beats of the company that donates. We may even be able to put sponsors on our shirts. Ideas I will have to run by the board - but look for more information on that soon!
Pay online with a credit card directly through your CHARMS account. Please pay into your MISCELLANEOUS LEDGER only.
Send your payment with your student to be placed in the safe in the band office at school.
Mail your check payments to: Union Band Parent Club, Inc., P.O. Box 471915, Tulsa, OK , 74147-1915 (make checks payable to UBPC and include your student's name in the memo section).
Conveniently, account payments can be made in-person and Account balances can be checked at our resource nights!
we need you!
We all have one thing in common: we love our students!
